02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We educate the public in the unity of the whole potential of being human in the world. We do this by running residential courses, conducting research, and by following the principles of good practise in our local environment, culture, and economy and by encouraging studies into self-knowledge and the illumination these bring. We encourage and respect each individual not for what they can do but for who they are and who they could be in their potential.
